Thanks to the full mobilization of all RATP employees, the event was a great success, appreciated by all travelers, tourists, supporters, and Parisians!

In RER stations, metro and tram stations, bus stops, and on platforms… the Paris 2024 Games were everywhere! You probably noticed the pink signage and stations redesigned for the occasion. These installations were highly appreciated for their effectiveness.

Dedicated New Signage

With the colors of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games visual identity and as a complement to the existing one, brand-new pink signage was installed in passenger areas and aboard trains.

Its role? To facilitate movement, inform, and guide travelers as best as possible along the different routes to reach the Olympic and Paralympic sites across Île-de-France.

Accessible to all thanks to color schemes and contrasts designed for optimal visibility, several types of signage were created and installed in around 60 stations and stops. This included over 4,000 signs and 100,000 elements deployed across the Île-de-France Mobilités transport network.

Transformed Stations and Stops

You might have noticed: some metro stations and RER stops near Olympic sites were decorated for the Paris 2024 Games! Several Olympic and Paralympic sports were highlighted and displayed in large-scale formats on platforms and in transport areas.

Les Jeux dans le métro (The Games in the Metro)

During the Paris 2024 Games, RATP's TikTok account was renamed @lesjeuxdanslemetro, in collaboration with content creator Les Gens dans le Métro.

Each day, a video was shared capturing funny and quirky moments in public transportation: encounters between travelers and supporters, collective bursts of enthusiasm, interactions with RATP agents, amusing scenes… all these moments of life were captured on our TikTok account.

The RATP Stadium at Auber

For the Paris 2024 Games, the Auber station hosted the RATP Stadium. It was an opportunity to experience Olympic and Paralympic sports in a fun way. Travelers could try archery, badminton, handfit, as well as para badminton, wheelchair racing, and blind running.

Metro Musicians in Concert

During the Paris 2024 Games, several artists certified as "Metro Musicians" by RATP performed on the stage at the Terrasse des Jeux, in front of the Paris City Hall. It was an opportunity for supporters, who came to enjoy this entertainment venue, to discover artists from various backgrounds for free.

Discover the behind-the-scenes of the RATP "Metro Musicians" program.

Since 1982, the RATP group has supported French athletes in their dual career, both athletic and professional. Currently, six active athletes are part of this RATP High-Level Athletes program. Among them, four athletes have qualified for the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games:

• Marie Oteiza, Modern Pentathlon
• Koumba Larroque, Wrestling
• Jeffrey Lami, Para-athletics (guide)
• Carlota Dudek, Breaking

A big congratulations to all of them, especially to Jeffrey Lami, who won the silver medal in the 400m T11 race with his blind teammate Timothée Adolphe!

À la suite des Jeux de Paris 2024, et pour faire un clin d’œil à la ville de Los Angeles, qui accueillera les Jeux Olympiques et Paralympiques en 2028, la RATP a renommé six stations de métro le temps d’une journée. Le 12 septembre 2024 au matin, les voyageurs ont pu découvrir les plaques temporaires installées dans les stations :

• Belleville (lignes 2 et 11) : Beverly Hills
• Malesherbes (ligne 3) : Malibu
• Saint-Michel (ligne 4) : Santa Monica
• Grands Boulevards (lignes 8 et 9) : Hollywood Boulevard
• Olympiades (ligne 14) : Olympiades Los Angeles
• L’Haÿ-les-Roses (ligne 14) : Melrose

En retour, L.A. Metro, qui exploite le métro de Los Angeles, a renommé cinq stations de son réseau en hommage à Paris :

• Downtown Santa Monica : Saint-Germain-des-Prés
• Chatsworth : Champs-Elysées
• Watts Tower : Tour Eiffel
• Mariachi Plaza : Macaron Plaza
• Monrovia : Montmartre

With the torch passed to LA for the 2028 Olympics & Paralympics, we've adjusted the names of two stations to honor Paris and the great job our friends at the @RATPgroup did getting everyone to/from the 2024 Games. 🇫🇷 pic.twitter.com/GQBIFLf526
